2-3 yr. My kids love the stuff. I make an outstanding steak sandwhich w/the loin straps. Sausage, jerky, stew, ground. It's amazing when u actually have to go out & buy beef. I can't get over how expensive it is.
Besides, nothing say "I love you" to your family than venison which costs about $20/pound. Camo, bow set up, gas, vehicle decked in camo/stickers, boots, license, time off work, you get the picture.;)

We HAVE to have four, fully mature deer each year or we run short. I'd prefer to kill five and be able to host a few grill-out sessions with friends if necessary.

There are only two of us so I voted 1-2 deer/year. We also eat a lot of chicken since we raise/butcher our own meat chickens. Plus with a core group of 50 laying hens of varying ages, we butcher the older ones every year to make room for younger hens. Add to that a couple of wild turkeys and some wild rabbit and dove thrown in for good measure that means just a little supplemental pork and beef from the store once or twice a month.

Getting down to the last of the 5 deer I butchered last season. We could easily go through more between just the two of us.

(I also happily scrape up roadkilled deer for the dogs.) :D

I usually take2-3 deer a year. Right now for our family of two we eat around one to two deer a year. I usually donate at least one deer a year to hunters feeding the hungry. This past February we gave away 1800lbs of ground venison in 5 minutes!

we usually kill 5-6 deer each season. we eat all the meat and usually run out of meat sometime in the summer. anything that uses beer we use venison
